I had sponsored the package, and had a quick look. Basically, the major problem is that numeric doesn't support clear byte/native code separation, if i remember well. Sylvain said he would have a look, and medwards said he had a solution to it, but never got around to make the new upload (and seemed to have disspeared these past two weeks or so, but is back again since a few days, it seems). I had not really the time to fix the bug though. Notice that this bug is not sarge critical, since numerix was never yet in sarge. Friendly, Sven Luther
